Gallinea Wiper Parts

What are the main components of a Gallinea wiper system for marine applications?

Gallinea's marine wiper systems are composed of several key components:

• Wiper Motors: These provide the necessary power to move the wiper arms and blades across the windscreen.
• Wiper Arms: Attached to the motors, they hold the wiper blades and ensure effective movement and pressure against the windscreen.
• Wiper Blades: These are the parts that come into direct contact with the windscreen, clearing water and debris to maintain visibility.
• Control Systems: These allow operators to adjust the speed and settings of the wipers, ensuring optimal performance in varying weather conditions.
• Washers: Integrated systems that spray cleaning fluid onto the windscreen to assist in removing dirt and salt residues.

What materials are commonly used in the construction of marine wiper blades?

Marine wiper blades are typically constructed using durable materials to withstand harsh maritime environments. Commonly, the frames are made from stainless steel due to its corrosion resistance, while the wiping elements are crafted from natural rubber for effective water removal. Some designs feature zinc-plated steel frames with a black painted finish and natural rubber blades backed by stainless steel supports.

What are the key differences between single and dual wiper arm systems on marine vessels?

Single wiper arm systems are simpler in design and typically used for smaller windscreens, offering easier installation and maintenance. Dual wiper arm systems provide better coverage and improved visibility, especially on larger vessels, by keeping more of the windscreen clear in heavy weather conditions. The choice between them depends on the vessel’s size, required visibility, and environmental demands.
